Since the film was released in 2006 I am not sure why they didn;t use a 997 though.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Forgive me, but it's Wacky Wednesday Trivia Day and I've wondered this one for a long time -
Question: Of all the Porsche 911 sports cars made in it's 50+ year history, why did Pixar studios choose the so called "black sheep of the 911 family" the 996 Carrera for the movie cars?
from wikipedia:
Sally is a 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera on a slightly-shortened wheelbase[1][2] and has a pinstripe tattoo on her back. Pixar had initially wanted a classic Porsche for the r�le, but were convinced by Bob Carlson at Porsche to make her the latest model. Pixar's animators, modellers and sound crews obtained access to real Porsche 911-series vehicles to meticulously create an animated Sally who looks, moves and responds in a similar manner to the original automobile.
and
According to director John Lasseter. "Sally is the one modern car in the town of Radiator Springs. She's beautiful. It's interesting that people mostly think of a Porsche as powerful and a guy's car, but the lines on a Porsche are so beautiful that it fits perfectly for the character of Sally
and
Originally, Sally was going to be a Ford Mustang. However, they made her a Porsche since the grill looked more "lady like." She also, at one point, originally resembled a Porsche 993.
Since the film was released in 2006 I am not sure why they didn;t use a 997 though.
I've heard that it took about 3-4yrs to actually make the movie. Assuming that's even remotely accurate, the 997 wasn't even on anyone's radar when they started production of the movie. And, they certainly weren't going to go back and edit every scene that Sally appeared in after the 997 was released.
-Eric
Am I the only one who thinks that every one of the Liberty Mutual characters deserves their fate?
"Researched cars for a year…then drove it into a tree leaving the dealership."
"You did everything with Brad…and then, you totaled him."
…and, so on.
These people do not deserve the nonjudgemental benefits of airbags.
Or, perhaps I'm just a bit harsh after a long day. You be the judge.
Went to the premier of Cars as they had it at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Saw a real version of Sally while there. Strange to see such a short wheelbase 996 but she exists!
Oh and Paul Newman was there too...

You are obsessed with dem tinkerbells.
You remind me of the dad next door in "American Beauty". The macho drill sergeant that hated gays. Until he tried to make out with Kevin Spacey.
Are you that guy?

"The best place on the Internet to learn about usage and grammar is, of course, a Disney Cars thread on Rennlist," thought 5chn3ll. "Once I have been properly informed about the proper use of 'irony,' I think I'll head over to the "I Bought KK's Car" thread to see tolerance and wisdom being shared freely."
"Holy crap, I just realized that MY car has orange side markers" could have been ironic, but if you point out the irony, it is generally no longer ironic. The irony is the obvious incongruity between what you say and what you're implying.
Katie Hafner was a new reporter for Business Week. As Jobs and Hafner walked through a parking lot during an interview, they saw a Porsche. It was one of the lower-priced models.
“That’s the kind of Porsche that dentists drive,” Steve said dismissively.
So not only was he a Porsche admirer, he also had a firm grasp of being a Porsche a-hole elitist. Sweet!
That man was quite possibly the biggest a-hole ever born. He pushed Apple to create some next-level stuff, but such an insufferable, arrogant *****.
"That man was quite possibly the biggest a-hole ever born. He pushed Apple to create some next-level stuff, but such an insufferable, arrogant *****."
I think this can be said of most if not all "visionaries" and otherwise uber-successful people. It's usually also said by people that A) Didn't know them particularly well and/or (B) Had an axe to grind...
It was an obvious choice: Sally Carrera is Freaking Hot. (I love this movie)
btw, the Deezer Auto Museum in North Miami Beach has Mater and a few other vehicles from Cars. No Sally, sadly, or I'd be there weekly like Joe Dimaggio at Norma Jean's grave
i�ron�i�cal�ly
īˈr�nək(ə)lē/
adverb
adverb:
ironically
in an ironic manner.
used to denote a paradoxical, unexpected, or coincidental situation.
ex:
"Ironically, B3freak noticed that 5CHN3LL's sardonic sense of humor was as bad as the stench of Chanel No. 5."
Did not know him. Have no ax to grind. Opinion based on what I've read as well as Jobs' own emails, tweets, behaviors in keynotes, etc.
Einstein was not an insufferable, arrogant *****; neither to the best of my knowledge were Oppenheimer, Bell, or Sikorsky. Tesla was a little odd, but not arrogant to the best of my understanding. Benjamin Franklin, arguably the country's first "visionary" in many areas, was terribly inappropriate at times, but I think he would have been fun to work for.
You can be the smartest guy in the room without needing to remind everyone else that you're the smartest guy in the room. Jobs did not feel this way.
Do you think they sell those front bumper covers to fit a 996TT? And in Guards Red?
OBTW, we had the Doc Hudson car at the museum last year for about a month.

In the words of Alanis Morissette:
"It's like rain on your wedding day / isn't it ironic"
This is a classic example of non-irony. Sh*t luck, yes, but not irony.

Fascinating, Mr Jobs.
Tell us: What kind of Porsches do dead people drive, underground?
Inquiring minds want to know. While we're, y'know,
alive.
Driving our Porsches. While you
don't.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Jobs is one of those crackpots who paid to be cryogenically stored until brain transplants become commonplace. While that's lunacy, it's fun to imagine thawing out his noggin and plopping his brain into a really, really ugly person's body. He'd HATE it.
I'm thinking Napoleon Dynamite / Steve Buscemi ugly.
Better yet, maybe they'll clone Bill Gates and install Jobs INTO Bill Gates's body. He'd be insane in a day.
I agree..the fat-a$$ one who talks about hitting a tree...man I just want to punch her in the baby maker everytime! If you drive your car into a tree, yes you should expect your insurance to go up, thats how it works.
This culture of placating and detachment from responsibility is ridiculous.
Thanks for getting me fired up this late at night Vlkuri lol. /rant
I'm so getting one of these for my 996!

"Did not know him. Have no ax to grind. Opinion based on what I've read as well as Jobs' own emails, tweets, behaviors in keynotes, etc."
Kind of what I figured...
What a great pitch for a screenplay. So what if Steve/Bill didn't off himself in a day but lived to develop great, new technology that everyone wants to buy and doesn't crash when you look at it!
Oddly enough, she looks/sounds strikingly like a girl I dated in the early 90's.
You're eerily close to the mark.
